What were your first impressions of the Scrub when you used it?
Very little scent – but pleasant. Light and slightly creamy liquid. The only thing I was surprised by was the size of the beads – they were much larger than I expected, however having said that they were also very smooth so never felt rough on my skin.

Did you notice any benefits from using this Scrub as opposed to other Scrub you have used in the past?
I have fairly sensitive, “mature” skin so am always wary of scrubs, however I have been using this daily with no adverse affects. I would not say it performed any better than other scrubs I have used to exfoliate, however it did leave my skin feeling very clean and I was never concerned about it damaging my skin as it was so gentle.

If Price would be of no concern, would you purchase this Scrub for yourself in the future?
Yes. I am very conscious of using products with no harmful ingredients and loved the smoothness of the actual beads, and the fact that I could use it so often to really clean my skin. I would happily use this every morning in the shower. However, I would probably also purchase a stronger exfoliant for deeper exfoliation when I need it.

What were your first impressions of the Scrub?
The packaging was very cheap looking, which was disappointing.
The tube makes it easy to handle even in the shower, and the product washes off easily with water alone.

How did you find the texture and smell of the Scrub?
The smell is subtle due to the products sensitive-friendly ingredients, and the texture is very gentle, although I felt a little watery. The granules are very gentle, but still enough to give a light exfoliation.

My skin was lightly exfoliated & felt very clean & refreshed after each use without any drying effects.

If Price would be of no concern, would you purchase this Scrub for yourself in the future?
I would not buy this product but would recommend it to people with sensitive skin.
I would rate this as 2 out of 5.

L’Oreal De-maq Expert Milk to Toner 2 in 1 Makeup Remover

L’Oreal De-maq Expert Milk to Toner 2 in 1 Makeup Remover 150ml, $17.95

An all-in-one cleansing routine offering the make-up removal efficacy of a milk combined with the fresh effect of a toner. The thick, creamy milk formula transforms into a fluid, translucent toning lotion on contact with the skin. An oil-in-water mix, it effectively and quickly removes make-up from the skin.

Interesting concept, I wonder if it will work?
I found it adequate for removing most makeup, but still had to use a separate remover for mascara and eye liner as this just isn’t up to the job.

The instructions say to use either cotton wool or water to rinse it off. I only tried going the cotton wool once, as it felt like it was drying my skin out and turning the cotton wool into sandpaper. Rinsing with water and a washcloth was much better.

How did you find the texture and smell of the Cleanser?
It is very liquid straight from the tube so don’t squeeze too hard. It hasn’t much of a smell which is a big bonus. I couldn’t actually see a transformation from milk to toner myself, so I have to take their word for it.

It is quite mild and when removed with water didn’t feel like it was removing all moisture from my skin, but I prefer a cleanser that will remove makeup in one go.

Out of five, what star rating would you give this Cleanser based on your experience with it?
